Dude, this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome, and the fact that I'd never even heard of it until about a month ago is absolutely insane. I went and bought a PS2 copy of World War Zero just so I could do a back-to-back comparison of each different version, and after playing through them all within the span of two days, I can say for sure that this one is my favourite. It runs flawlessly on modern hardware right out the box, and as far as old school shooters go, this is some of the most fun I’ve had in a long while. I’d say it’s most comparable to HROT, although there are arguments to be made for games like Day Of Defeat and Return To Castle Wolfenstein/Enemy Territory.

It’s worth noting that the store page contains screenshots from the updated version of this game; World War Zero. These screenshots include items and encounters not available in this release, such as the flamethrower and the final boss fight, which is the only thing I feel is really missing from this release. It’s also worth noting that there’s a bug in the final level which can make it difficult to access certain areas required for progression, but it’s possible to work around with a little perseverance. Aside from those few issues, and the stretched UI elements when using widescreen resolutions, I didn’t really encounter any problems during my playthrough.

Anyway, criminally underrated game, and most definitely worth the price.
